Wow, it's been nearly a week since I blogged. I don't know what I've been doing. Enjoying the summer I guess.

Green Pumpkin finally has some new clients. I'm going to busier than ever soon. I've gotten so used to not doing any "work" work that I'm going to have a hard time getting motivated. The money sure is nice though. It'll be refreshing too, in a way.

I installed OS X on my computer last week and I love it. It's more stable than OS 9 and looks really cool. I can't wait to get all my applications updated to the X versions. Plus I can open a Unix terminal session and Apple gives you all the developer tools you need to start creating your own applications. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all that, but I'm hoping it will open up a whole new world of geekdom for me. At the very least it will be another distraction.

I've decided to stay at the coffee shop for a while longer. It may prove to be too much once I start on these GP projects, but for now the extra money is handy. I'm starting to get pretty good on the bar too. I do have some issues though. One, that there are way too many candy coffee drinks (turtle mochas, mint conditions, caramel hirise, light white berries) that are a huge pain in the ass to make, especially when there is a line out the door. Two, I don't always have enough time to focus on making a good drink. Too often it's a sort of assembly line approach to coffee drinks where I'm supposed to serve as many people as possible in as short a period of time as possible. I like it much better when it's slow and I can focus. I don't make as good of tips though, when it's slow, so it's a bit of a catch-22.
